⚡️🇺🇸🇺🇦 — The U.S. Department of State approved a possible Foreign Military Sale to Ukraine for Air Defense Development Upgrades and related equipment and services, estimated at $2.68 billion. If concluded, Kyiv would finance the purchase through European contributions combined with U.S. Foreign Military Financing appropriated during the prior Administration; that FMF would count as a U.S. capital contribution to the Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund via a 1:1 reimbursement.

➡️ Ukraine requested the following non-major defense equipment: S-300 Clone missiles; GAM-67 missiles; Range-Extended Air Defense Laser Guided Rocket missile systems; Improvised Transporter Erector Launcher 1.5; mobile launching system modification kits; RPS 202 counter-UAS radars; erectable mast trailers, major modifications and maintenance support; spare parts, consumables, accessories and repair-and-return support; software; publications; transportation support; U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical and logistics services; and other logistics and program support elements.

➡️ Washington said the sale would advance U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives by improving the security of a European partner, would not alter the region's basic military balance, and would carry no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness.
